Boule in hand
Hey folks, really enjoying the chat and Kevin's content. The last few YouTube videos have been about holding and releasing the boule, so my question is do boule with different markings, MZ Turtles or any other with distinct markings or even no markings at all other than the manufacturer's name need to be held in the hand in a specific way for either pointing or shooting?

Found an old book I wrote
I wrote this back in 2008 and all the stuff I was preaching then is pretty relevant now with lots of extras. Maybe I should redo it and publish with video content

Sounds like a plan to me, looking forward to it.

Obut Match 72 690
0 likes • Mar 6
As a newbie I purchased Obut match boules, 72 690 which felt great over the summer months but in the colder weather over winter didn't seem to have the same grip. After playing with a club mates smaller boule today I'm thinking off purchasing a size down (71) but not sure off the weight, would like to think of myself as a decent pointer with aspirations to shoot.Any advice on boule brand and weight would be much appreciated.

Are you playing this weekend?
My first proper practice for 2026 starts this weekend as I’m restricted when it’s cold. First competition is next weekend when I play with a GB junior player to help his game

Club triples this Sunday, teams drawn on the day. As a newbie looking forward to the experience, every day is a school day.

Boule size science
Ok, some of you have been playing for years and have much knowledge of boule size, what determines what size you use? Do the better players use the perfect fit or do some use small or big when they should use the opposite, my sporting history puts me in the tinkering team, so I've already had a few sets, and this will continue im sure lol

The boules that I bought and played through the summer with felt good, now in the cold of winter they don't feel so good. Is temperature also a consideration in boule size and weight 🤔
